The Galaxy S Plus is probably the least popular device of the Galaxy S trio, but it has its fans. It caters to those who want a bigger Galaxy S screen and don’t want to overpay for Ultra features they will not use. Today, we will be meeting with the Galaxy S24+, which finally returns to its former glory with a Quad HD display.
Indeed, this has to be the biggest change since the Galaxy S21 series! The Galaxy S24+ brings back the 1440p OLED display we last saw on the Galaxy S20+ in 2020. And it’s as premium of a panel as it can get – a 6.7-inch LTPO Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with 513ppi, 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, HDR10+ and up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness.
Quick note – we are reviewing the Exynos model of the Galaxy S24+ here.
The refreshed design is the next thing on the list of upgrades – the aluminum frame is now tougher, flatter and all matte! This makes the Galaxy S24+ look new and feel new, too.
Just like the Galaxy S24, the S24+ hardware varies depending on the market. The global models employ the Exynos 2400 chip with a 10-core CPU and new AMD graphics, while the US/Canada/China models run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The S24+ is available in 256GB and 512GB variants, both with UFS 4.0 chips and 12GB of RAM.
The camera system is identical to the one on the Galaxy S24, S23+ and S23. There are three cameras on the back – a 50MP OIS primary, a 10MP 3x telephoto and a 12MP ultrawide. The front camera is a 12MP shooter with autofocus and 4K capturing.
The Galaxy S24+ specs also include Ultra Wideband (UWB) support and a larger 4,900mAh battery with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging.

The Galaxy S24+ seems like it has it all. Maybe it deserved a better zoom camera, or at least one of higher resolution, so it can allow for lossless/hybrid zoom. But we guess this incremental update will now be reserved for the Galaxy S25 next year.
